If they can accelerate production by 52+ units a week on 7/18 BW and continue the growth pace.

Is the plant on hiatus the weeks of 6/20, 6/27 and 7/4? There were a few 10 entries in the order tracker for the week of 6/20 but the couple of VIN's for that week I see are pushed off to July 14/15.

The forum order list has stale data, look my online version from my signature.

The 6/13 BW should have officially wrapped up production Sunday, ....BUT.... they are catching up on the lag right now at 8 days, so in reality they are still working right now and by next Sunday should be done with 6/13 BW and from there on out main line is in hiatus and the retrofitting work probably continues to drain down the holding lot's

IMHO, they need to start the planning for August production soon, but maybe they will wait until the end of this month to let all the WAVE-7 finish their orders, then they have to total picture and will lay it out for the rest of the year, definitely filling up August capacity, then by mid to late July fill up the September schedule.
I thought August was already full - people are getting pushed to Sept.

No way..... have you seen the BW reports for those weeks, much more capacity, regardless of forum participation and a percentage of real world orders, there will be many more of our forum brothers and sisters to populate those weeks in August.

Perhaps they'll use those three weeks to find my truck!

Great news if true. Given the schedule pushes, I kind of figured they were running short of something, or had other expected delays and were dropping the count per week for August.

They need the final order specs to be worked out, because they're in the final stages of planning for MY22. Think about it like this - in the beginning we were part of a Tetris game with our average level at the bottom and Ford could wedge pieces here/there. Now we have a much shorter Tetris chute and gotta make 'em fit more tightly.

Thanks for the intel. I guess they need to make some plant retrofits if they are going to increase production from 400+ per week to 800+ a week. There were a couple of weeks with 600+ scheduled but those were surrounded by 400+ weeks so the average has been maybe 450 a week.

Dang - that Tow Tech Pack is super good to have.. not something I would personally want to lose.
Oof - that is going to hurt. That is all the Lariat ERs and Platinums.

I wonder if they will give an option to delete for a credit - I would be willing to take it off of mine if I got a credit and faster scheduling, but not willing to give up the rest of the Lariat 511A package or the ER battery.

With the inverter - does anyone know which one that is. Could that be blocking all Lightings with 9.6kW?

I think that it is unavailable on non-lightnings, unless I am reading it wrong. Only the ice models are listed as being affected with the product being available for lightning only. If Ford wants to drive a wedge between ice and EV customers, this is surely a way to do it. The lightning is very protected as far as specialty supplies/chips. If it is affecting the lightning, then they need to find a way to delete it for scheduling and come up with some kind of compensation. And it begs the question if you don't have the parts to built them, why make more available to order? The disappointment and dissatisfaction falls squarely on Ford's shoulders if they don't have the parts, can't get them and won't schedule orders if the parts are included in an order, but open up for for orders.

OK - my read was that that package (which is the Lightning specific version) is not available.

You could be correct. I have my build week (8/29), but that can move around. I hope that being scheduled for a week means that they have the stuff. If not, why add more orders that can not be fulfilled?

This could be interesting. They would have to remove it from the order page or notify owners that have had it removed.
